The graphical capabilities of 3DS will make the system hard for home console developers to ignore, according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
Whereas traditionally PSP games have tended to feel much more like their console cousins, particularly in visual appearance, Iwata foresees more high-end titles making their way to Nintendo's handheld platform.
"The biggest reason why he developed the portable [with high specs] is because," Iwata told investors this week, "we didn't want developers to think that they couldn't develop their titles for Nintendo game machines due to the specs."
As reported by Kotaku, the likes of Capcom's Yoshinori Ono have said that 3DS enables them to do "perfect" ports of console games such as Super Street Fighter IV.
3DS specs were detailed by Nintendo earlier this week after the company slapped a February 2011 release date on the new portable.
A video showcasing the 3DS software line-up also got an airing, with highlights including traditional home console-based series like Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid.
